Showing Some Skin - Themeless #9

 Hello!

Recently came across one of my favorite clues of all time.

I was reading through Natan Last's new book (Across the Universe - great read!), and each chapter starts with (presumably) one of his favorite crossword clues. One of these clues was [Drag to court], from an Erik Agard blog puzzle (feat. Paolo Pasco). You might've realized this clue happens to be in my grid (at 13-Across), too.

I ended up using the same answer in my grid when filling, and as I was writing clues I realized I could never write a better clue for it than [Drag to court].

So, I've decided to use it as an homage to Erik and to hopefully give solvers that haven't seen it the opportunity to crack it for themselves.

Here's the link to the Erik's puzzle with that clue - check it out!

Total Dumpster Fire

 Hello!

Loved making this midi (11x11) and may try to make more of these in the future to sprinkle in between my full-sized puzzles - especially if it means uploading more!

This one was a part of my application to be a constructor for Lil AVCX, an indie crossword outlet with a focus on midis, but unfortunately I got rejected. Still, very happy with how this turned out and I think it deserves a spot on the blog.

Hope you enjoy!
